The chassis is full of British capacitors, hunts, plessey, and others. All the paper caps are from the UK. Canadian Marconi was British owned at that point. I have an earlier one with a round CRT which is in poor shape, but even has a British made focus coil on the CRT. That TV is unfortunately missing cosmetic parts, but is much older in design. One thing which seems to me a bit unique about Marconi sets is the IF sections are done in a straight line, they look a bit different from the US designed sets. The sets are a real mix of British parts and American design, sort of like our language and culture!

British Capacitors are quite common in the electronics which were made in Montreal in the 1950s and 1960s.

I got a new blow gun for my air compressor with a narrow tube at the end, this afternoon I plan to reassemble the set on its plywood base, and take a bunch of photos after I clean it more. One thing I noticed is the horizontal output tube is bad, the getter is white.
